DBP (David's Batch Processor) is a simple batch processing plugin for the Gimp - it allows the user to automatically perform operations (such as resize) on a collection of image files. Its main advantage is that the user does not have to learn a scripting language. Like the Gimp itself, DBP relies on a graphical interface. The user creates a list of images, and sets up the processing required for each image. The results of the current settings can be displayed. Once the required sequence of operations has been set up, DBP performs the same processing on each image in turn. The images can be colour corrected, resized, cropped, and sharpened, then renamed and saved to a different file in a specified image format. All the steps (except loading and saving the image!) are optional; so the simplest use of DBP is just to convert a number of image files from one format to another.

Note that DBP is intended for RGB, not indexed images. Trying to process an indexed image will probably just cause an error, and DBP will halt. Also, DBP will not overwrite the original image (in fact, it should not overwrite any file) - images must at least be either renamed (possibly by changing the image format) or moved to a different directory.

Just extract the attached .zip file, then copy dbp to your gimp plugins directory. Then, when you start gimp, it should appear on the menu under Xtns->Batch Process....

So i ran the same test again (after deleting the 800x600 images)
only this time i did not click on Show Images.

It proceeded without any Error Message.

I also ran another test, again resizing to 800x600 with BMP as Output.
Once again if i clcked on Show Images i recieved the same Error Message.
If i did not click on Show Images, i did not recieve the Error Message.

In each of the tests it did convert and resize the images.
No files were deleted (other than by me.)

1) Are you saying that ttl-431.sfs comes with 2.4rc3 already installed? Well, if dbp works with 2.6, first delete instances of gimp 2.4rc3, then install 2.6, and it should be OK. (in order to find instances of gimp 2.4rc3, run find / -name gimp*

It seems like it is mainly installed to /usr/local with your pupversion. Also check either /usr/share/gimp, or /usr/local/share/gimp/. Plus check for hidden gimp directory in /root.

2) creating a menu entry for gimp is simply achieved. Create a text file, and copy & paste the following:
